Conley, D. (1999). Being black, living in the red: Race, wealth, and social policy in America. University of California Press.
The author presents an argument saying that the existing differences between the black and while people squarely falls on the inequalities brought about by wealth accumulation and economic disparities and not on the mere racial difference. Property ownership, translated as one’s net worth, explains the racial discrepancy that seems to exist.
Darity, W. A., & Myers, S. L. (1998). Persistent Disparity: Race and economic inequality in the United States since 1945. Edward Elgar Pub.
The authors point out that the significant discrepancy that exists between black and white Americans is as a result of racial discrimination in the labor market. They project that a future job loss to the white males and continued earning losses will lead them to push the black workers down to preserve the remaining job opportunities.

Oliver, M. L., & Shapiro, T. M. (2006). Black wealth, white wealth: A new perspective on racial inequality (1st edition.). Taylor & Francis.
Oliver and his co-authors present a portrait of racial inequality that is based on private with analysis.

His study seeks to look at what he called as trends in educational attainment by family wealth and suggests that we should be concerned about growing wealth gaps in education. He observes that despite overall growth in educational attainment and some signs of decreasing wealth gaps in high school attainment and college access exists between races and seeks to understand these gaps and why they exist.
Shapiro, T. M. (2004). The hidden cost of being African American: How wealth perpetuates inequality. Oxford University Press, USA.
The author argues that asset accumulation of an individual determines what he passes down to the generations to come, and this is the leading cause of economic inequalities. He observes that most of the ancient fathers of African descent did not have much wealth to had over to the current generations, and this explains the racial, economic disparities that exist to date.
Shapiro, T. M. (2017). Toxic inequality: How America’s wealth gap destroys mobility, deepens the racial divide, and threatens our future. Basic Books.
Thomas Shapiro, the authors, explores the economic inequality that exists between races over the years and argues that virtues such as hard work are not enough the seal this gap. He literates that families are not poor because they are lazy or because they enjoy welfare, but that inherited wealth, employment conditions, education, and tax laws, and other factors contribute a family’s abilities to accumulate wealth.
